We woke to another gorgeous day...we can't believe what great weather we've been having on our journey north. Today's route took us through more fabulous countryside with stunning scenery.

We continued north on highway 17, stopping in Moses Lake to fuel up.

It was a spectacular day but it was very windy...look at the dust!

Soap Lake...

Interesting spot...

Blue Lake...

Sun Lakes/Dry Falls State Park area...looks like a great spot for another time,

Windy and dusty!

In fact twice the wind blew our steps out on the trailer so Steve had to bungee cord them...

Bridgeport...

Chief Joseph Dam...

We connected with highway 97 just past the dam.

We had a relatively short travel day today, arriving in Omak, WA around noon. That's the city park, Carl Precht Memorial RV Park, down on the left side of the highway...it would appear that Serena (our GPS) is taking us the long way around to the park.

Okanogan River...

Cool old car...

We eventually made our way to the RV park and selected a pull-through site at the end of the row. Not very busy here...only 3 other rigs there when we arrived...all from Canada. I think this is a popular stopover for a last Walmart and fuel stop as us Snowbirds head back home. We're going to settle here for a couple of nights...so got all set up. Full-hook ups with 50 amp...it's been awhile! $25/night including Wi-Fi.

Homes up on the hill overlooking the river and valley...

After we were all set up, we relaxed inside. I downloaded all of the pictures from the last few days...it was time for Steve to get started on editing. We have had 4 travel days...we are looking forward to a down day tomorrow before crossing the border into BC Monday.

About Us

We married in 1982 and our sons, Rob and Chris were born in 1983 and 1985. In 1990 we built our dream home in North Saanich just north of Victoria BC on 1.21 acres. We both had long careers, Dianne in Human Resources and Steve as Branch Manager for a controls systems wholesaler.
Steve always felt that there were no guarantees in life as far as health and mortality went, so we planned to retire early and RV full-time.
In late 2009 we began the build process on our custom Toy Hauler truck, taking delivery in early 2010. We moved into our new Montana 5th wheel in Feb 2010, living in it for 4 months while still working. In May 2010 we purchased 2 Yamaha Grizzly 550 ATVs. We're ready!
Just shy of our 55th birthdays, on June 25, 2010 we retired and started our life as gypsies.
We prefer dry camping (boondocking), getting as far away from civilization as possible. However, our size limits us from getting into all of those remote areas. Good thing we have the ATVs to explore with.
